Cannot connect to camera

Everything was working fine all day, then (seemingly) randomly I started getting the "Cannot connect to camera" error when opening the camera.

Not sure if it's useful to anyone trying to pin down this issue, but here is the snippet of logcat from tapping camera icon to it erroring out:

After about a full day of usage here are my thoughts. Excellent start. Cam working great for me. Video recording working. Wifi working. Option to disable mobile network! Battery seems to drain a bit fast, but I will have to calibrate with charging and then test. Rom seems extremely stable still and no complaints at all. Was figuring id have to flash back to fresh, but I think I found my new everyday Rom.

I also tried flashing net kernel for undervolt but was getting weird lines on my screen so had to revert back

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crackbone:
There's something definitely borked with the battery stats. Even after multiple flashes and wiping battery stats multiple times , the measurement is not accurate.

I'll charge to a full charge, then it'll do it's customary, I don't like being 90% or higher after a bit of time. Then it drops to the low 80s and holds there for hours, again in the low 70s, etc.

It got to the point that I don't even usage the percentages anymore as they are highly inaccurate.

Until the battery profile is more accurate it's useless to try to gauge what the real power usage is on the nightlies or the RC.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Topgun966:
You have to reset the stats to give it a base.

Best to do this by having a complete full charge, wipe the stats reboot and the second it comes up unplug and run the battery completely down till it shuts off. That gives it a base to go on.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crackbone:
I'm saying i've done that multiple times. :D

The battery stats are not at all accurate. They just aren't. I would assume it's using code from the nexus build to calculate stats, and it's causing some funky stuff to occur.

I'm not saying I have bad battery life, just the reading is inaccurate.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p-slim:
You are correct, I was just asking because I haven't watched a movie on cm6 yet, but when I did watch one on stock, the 30fps was significantly noticeable to me. Now that we're getting 50 I will probably put a couple of movies back on my card, I've just been busy lately to worry about that.

On a side note, what's funny to me is how people always check those scores. You need a program to tell the difference so therefore who cares if you can't noticeably see or feel the difference?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myndwire:
i honestly don't think it's worth flashing the wimax files until we're running a rom that features wimax. don't the binaries go on top of the rom itself, inside the system partition? if so it just gets wiped out every time we flash, and there's no real purpose... it may be a good idea to wait, unless something from the wimax flash actually updates the firmware of the wimax radio like the regular radio update does / sticks permanently...

edit: wait, i recall the last wimax update involved a wimax partition of it's own... i guess it DOES stick then, we just have to way to tell if it borked our wimax or not until we run a wimax-capable rom with the sequansd daemon running.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MSmith1:
You keep on coming in these threads acting like this issue doesnt exist. It does. Just because you have not experienced the issue doesn't mean it doesnt exist. If several people are reporting the issue, what does it matter if you don't have the issue or what your FPS is? Cyan acknowledged the issue. Netarchy acknowledged the issue. As it is now, there is no fix for the issue so anything that you recommend will not fix it unless you can figure out the source of the issue and fix it in the kernel yourself. Also, it doesn't effect all nova screens. If you haven't experienced the issue, consider yourself lucky.

CM6 snap v4 will not change anything if you are running the newest nightly build to begin with. Snap is just a modified CM6 kernel.

Damn...

Odd thing is, I didn't see any bluetooth related changes in the commit.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I've been trying to isolate the cause as well. It's so sporadic, most times I just have my phone sitting with the screen off. After a little time has gone by the issue will present itself.

For example I rebooted my phone 15-20 minutes ago and I'm still seeing 51 FPS average. I'll try to note everything that happens until the FPS dips again.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MSmith1:
Yeah, Cyan has most likely not pulled the changes Netarchy made in the 3.7.5 kernel. If he did, then we may have a different/other problem.

Prior to 3.7.5, I had the issue creep up over time and I definitely thought it was a "time" variable. Which is what you are experiencing now.

With 3.7.5, I haven't experienced the "time" variable and it seems much more like an "action" variable. In my case, the action variable was installing something. I experienced it once a couple days ago after installing last.fm. I haven't experienced it since. On the older kernel that I felt was being hit by a "time" variable, it definitely would have happened a couple of times already.

I'm hoping that we can get to the source of the issue and squash this bug once an for all.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xeren:
Ok, I'm still on the 6/29 nightly, and it looks like my phone not-sleeping problems are back. They went away a couple days ago when i killed the calendar storage process that was running non-stop, but now they are back, and it looks like the android system itself is the culprit- take a look at the screenshots i took.

screenshot 1) a graph of the last 8 hours of usage- notice how there was no device usage from about 12:30 to 2pm (my screen was off), but the CPU activity is sitting around 1% the whole time. Every point in time in the day before that though, when device usage drops to zero, so does cpu activity.

2) a comparison of the internal process "system"- notice it appears to be the cause of most of the cpu activity from 12:30 to 2pm

3) Partial wake usage since boot this morning. Android System is far and away the largest culprit.

4) is Swype - i'll get to that in a sec.

Could anyone tell me- what does this mean exactly? Is it still likely that another process is spurring the system process into action, and that's what's preventing the phone from sleeping, or is it definitely the android system itself causing the issue, given that it's the largest cause of partial wake usage?

For instance, Swype seems to be running at a low level the whole time from 12:30pm to 2pm in screenshot 4, and additionally caused occasional spikes in cpu usage during that time. Could swype be causing the system process to run and keep things from sleeping?

I'm extremely confused by what's causing all this, as killing calendar storage is what fixed things a couple days ago, and the phone slept fine for a couple days, but it may have just been a coincidence now that that fixed it.

Sorry for the long post asking for help, but i'm out of ideas on how to permanently fix this problem that most other people don't seem to be having.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android 17:
Hey, MSmith, I know we've exchanged words before, but I just wanted to support you here. I am also still experiencing this issue, and I believe you may be right about it being an 'action' variable, as opposed to a 'time' variable. I've noticed sometimes I can go for seceral hours with no dip in fps, and at other times, it appears to occur faster.

I haven't done a lot of testing, but I can verify from my end at least that installing apps is not my 'action' as I can go for several days not installing apps and the issue will still present itself.

Just out of curiosity, is your phone a launch nova? Mine is. As I mentioned before, I haven't tested too much, but my current hunch is that the issue may have to do with apps that

stream music or online radio. I consistently use an app called tunewiki to stream

shoutcast radio so I believe it may be my 'action' trigger. My other hunch otherwise would be swype.

Now to the problem at hand. Your observations are very very interesting because the two times that I experienced the issue was after I installed last.fm, a music streaming program, and, after I installed a keyboard. If you think it it could be due to your streaming app or swype, that is pretty consistent with my thoughts. Now we have to get try to reproduce this somehow and maybe we can kill this thing.
